Status: Sold

This vintage Waltham pocket watch exemplifies the dependable American craftsmanship that made the company a cornerstone of early 20th-century timekeeping. Housed in a sturdy silver-tone case with a smooth, polished back, the watch retains a handsome patina from years of careful use. The case shows light wear and surface marks consistent with age, but remains in good overall condition with tight hinges and a secure crown. The crisp white enamel dial features bold black Arabic numerals with an outer red minute track and a recessed seconds subdial positioned at six o’clock. The blued-steel spade hands add a refined contrast and maintain the classic aesthetic associated with railroad-style watches of the era. Inside, this Waltham pocket watch is powered by a 7-jewel mechanical movement, built for reliable daily performance and durability. While jewel counts were lower on entry-level models, Waltham’s engineering ensured accuracy and long service life through precise machining and quality materials. Possibly silver, unable to open but is currently in working condition.
